Domaine du Bon Reméde GRANGE DELAY AOC Ventoux 2022, 0,75 L

There are wines where you realise as soon as you smell them that this is something special. Grange Delay belongs exactly in this category. A wine from the Ventoux AOC in the Rhône Valley, a small, up-and-coming region on the left bank of the Rhône that is attracting increasing attention with its remarkably exciting wines.

In the glass, the wine shows a deep ruby red colour. The nose is fine and complex, with ripe red fruit, dark berries and the typical garrigue notes of the south. Rosemary, thyme and wild herbs immediately give the wine that unmistakable scent of Provence. On the palate, the cuvée is taut, juicy and wonderfully precise. The fruit is lively, almost mouth-watering, and there is a well-defined acidity that brings freshness and drive. This French wine has an exceptionally long and elegant finish.

The grapes come from a single vineyard around the old family farm, where the berries ripen slowly and evenly. Syrah was matured in wood and adds further depth, fine flavour and structure. The result is a wine that skilfully combines generosity with finesse.

A fine accompaniment to lamb, game dishes, braised beef or mature hard cheese. Anyone looking for Rhône wines with style, length and a true sense of origin should consider this wine.
